I started a similar poll before,but time has changed things and I thought since USMS is going to have to do something definitive so they should have some input from the forumites
There was an informal vote taken at one of the House of Delegates meetings during convention. Wasn't really whether or not should tech suits should be allowed or not - just when implementation would take effect following adoption from another legislative body, USA-S or FINA - I don't recall.
What I have a challenge with is the fact that if you don't compete, I believe you should not get any kind of vote. If all you're doing is working out, regularily or otherwise, and never competing in pool events why would you even care what others wear while they compete? I also believe that the vote taken at convention was influenced by non-competitors and that if their votes were eliminated (both sides - yay and nay) the vote would have gone closely the other direction.
